South End Small Business Saturday

Explore local shops, restaurants and breweries and find holiday gifts at three one-day-only pop-up markets.

150 local shops, 70 places to eat and drink, and free trolley rides throughout the district. Maps and free shopping totes will be up for grabs throughout the neighborhood.

Park anywhere, grab a ride from LYFT or ride in on the light rail: we’ve got you covered so you can leave your car and spend the day carefree. Park once (list below) and then hop on one of the free trolleys to get around the district from shop to shop.

Start your day in one of the three festival hubs:

Camden Road, start at East-West Boulevard and Camden, arm yourself with a map and directions from a friendly tour guide and set out to explore the great shops, restaurant and art galleries on and around Camden. Pop-up shops will line the street leading you to the brick and mortar shops who will have doors open, music playing, festive snacks and gifts.

2525 Distribution Street, with Dudeapalooza at C3 Lab. 11am – 5pm. Plentiful parking, local shops featuring gifts for dudes (and no potpourri), original works of art for sale, and the C3 Biergarten with a heated outdoor tent, Triple C Brewery pouring and food trucks slinging BBQ goodness. Then take the free trolley to the next stop…

Lincoln Street, between Church and Mint, where pop-ups will line the streets, and you can explore music, shop for gifts, art and decor, and beverages from Unknown Brewing. Then take the trolley back to grab a bite to eat or back to where you started…
